The cons (from a PHP/MySQLdevelopment point of view) with Windows Azure made it a questionable choice for a preferred cloud platform too.

Could maybe benefit from a little less focus on Azure. Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:29:10 +0000 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 Was one of my best talks of the conference, interesting, informative and got me thinking about incorporating it into our business Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:16:11 +0000 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 The talk was definitely brought to life by Thijs' enthusiasm and knowledge of his subject. Slightly long though.

Content-wise, I think there were a lot of people in the room already doing fairly advanced stuff with cloud/dedicated platforms and wanted deeper detail rather than overview (I did). An improvement for me would have been some real-life examples of set-ups being used by clients and the problems or advantages of them. It also felt like it was much more cloud-focused than hybrid. Enjoyable though and I learned some things, but I know there are more crazy secrets hiding in your head and I wanted to hear some of them.

Would have gone 5*, but felt it could have been a little bit more advanced, giving it a little bit more "how" rather than "why" and "can" Sun, 26 Feb 2012 18:10:34 +0000 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 https://joind.in/talk/view/4951 I found this particularly useful as a good starting point for those apps where you may need to scale shortly but aren't sure of the best approach. The step-by-step scaling slides were good eg single server, separate MySQL out, etc. It could have perhaps done with a bit more technical detail, but aside from that, Thijs is an energetic and engagin speaker.
